Hi there! With this new release changing to synchronous sending of data, how will that affect performance? One of the reasons I am using this and Zapier is because it offloads tasks to be completed separate from the final order processing.

Bottom line is, will this slow down checkout for customers? Is this adding processes to the checkout? The last thing I need is a slower checkout. Thank you!

This change was implemented because there was a growing portion of our user base that was having relabiality issues with WordPress’ cron facility, causing them to either not receive data at all, or for data to be sent multiple times.

Depending on the payment gateway used, it does mean that additional processes could be added to the checkout submission process.

Advanced users who want to continue sending data asynchronously can do so by using the wc_zapier_send_asynchronously filter if they wish. See example code here.
